Shane absorbed the memories contained within the Memory Sphere and accepted the new Survivor Skills.
The memories of his alternate life weren't all that useful, considering they're all from a different type of Apocalypse.
There was nothing related to the Zombies, but at the very least, he learned what kind of System Features would be available as he leveled up.
Nevertheless, the absorption wasn't over yet.

"Axe Mastery? This doesn't look too bad." Shane muttered as he held his hatchet tightly.
He finally had a combat-related skill!
Well, even if he had Firearm Mastery, it was pretty useless since he couldn't use it to its fullest. After all, he didn't have an unlimited number of bullets! He had to find a way to get them, and he had been unlucky about it so far.
"Harper, Anna… Stay back! Just try to finish off the ones that will pass on me…" Shane declared as he looked at the incoming Runner Zombies.
"Come!" Shane said as he stepped forward… Since there were many Zombies ahead, it would be wise to approach to find a better spot…
He saw the entrance of the church that was left open and thought of an idea…
"I'll move slowly inside the church… Follow me! Our barricade will not last long…" Shane said as he lured the Zombies to the church.
Although some of their spikes were fixed, their metal fence was in terrible condition and it won't last long against the onslaught of the Runner Zombies.
With that in mind, he decided to use the other buildings in the estate.
Harper and Anna understood Shane's concern and immediately followed him.
Graahh!
It didn't take long before the battle started. Shane had to face dozens of Runner Zombies!
He swung his hatchet at the first Runner Zombie that came at him, cutting its throat. The zombie fell to the ground, gurgling and twitching.
'One down…'
Shane didn't stop to look as he moved on to the next one.
He dodged the second Runner Zombie's outstretched arms and slashed its hands.
Thud! Thud!
The zombie screamed and dropped its arm, blood spilling from the wound. Shane then kicked the zombie in the chest, making it stumble back and blocking the Zombies behind.
He wanted to finish it off with a hatchet to the head, but the next zombies stopped him from doing so…
He had to block the third Runner Zombie by kicking its body before he sliced its skull... The zombie groaned and stumbled back as it lost its balance…
Shane then swung his hatchet to the fourth zombie's neck, severing its spine.
Just like that, the zombie collapsed, lifeless.
Clank!
Shane's action didn't stop as he parried the fifth Runner Zombie's swipe, and sliced its hand. The zombie hissed and used its other hand to try and grab Shane's hand to get a bite!
However, Shane hit the zombie in the face with his hatchet, breaking its nose and jaw. The zombie fell, silent.
He then avoided the sixth Runner Zombie's bite and chopped its mouth. At this time, Shane couldn't properly aim and was simply slashing at the nearest target.
Roaaar~
The zombie seemed to have whimpered and spat out its teeth, blood dripping from its mouth. Shane then smashed its head with his hatchet, destroying its brain!
He fought like this, one after another, until he cleared the wave of Runner Zombies.
Thankfully, the entrance of the church wasn't too wide and he was able to limit the number of Runner Zombies coming at him.
At this time, Shane was covered in blood and sweat, but he was alive and victorious. He had used his hatchet to kill them all!
In the meantime, Anna and Harper watched in awe as Shane defeated all the Runner Zombies with his hatchet.
They had never seen him fight so well and so fiercely. They knew he was a skilled and experienced Survivor, but this was something else.
"His mastery with that weapon increased by leaps and bounds…" Harper commented as he recalled that Shane wasn't that great in hatchet when they were still exploring the iron mines.
Compared to his previous ability, Shane was like a one-man army, cutting down the Zombies with ease and precision!
It was as if Shane was unstoppable!
